Intelligent driving control × intelligent control of all road conditions, creating extraordinary driving pleasure

In the past, the engine, transmission, and suspension were the criteria for judging the driving performance of a vehicle. However, Lynk & Co 02 broke through traditional cognition and created a new driving experience of intelligent driving control and full road condition intelligent control.

The Lynk & Co 02 is equipped with a 2.0TD engine derived from the Volvo Drive-E series and a 1.5TD high-efficiency engine jointly developed by Volvo Cars and Geely Automobile, both belonging to the Drive-E series. The 2.0TD engine has a maximum power of 190ps/4700rpm and a peak torque of 300N · m/1400-4000rpm, which has excellent power performance. Thanks to the application of low inertia turbochargers, the 2.0TD engine turbo intervenes earlier, and can output 215N · m at 1000rpm, while the peak torque can be reached at only 1400rpm, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 7.8s, bringing efficient and surging acceleration pleasure to drivers and passengers.

The high-efficiency small-displacement engine represented by 1.5TD can not only provide users with efficient power, but also be more conducive to fuel conservation and environmental protection. The 1.5TD high-efficiency engine of Lynk & Co 02 adopts medium and high power versions. The maximum power of the medium power version is 156ps/5000rpm, the peak torque is 245 N · m/1450-4000rpm, and the maximum power of the high power version is 180ps/5500rpm. The peak torque is 265 N · m/1500-4000rpm. The two power versions of the 1.5TD high-efficiency engine have the same leading technical advantages in power, lightweight, NVH, durability and economy.

The 2.0TD version is equipped with a 7DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox and an Aisin third-generation 6-speed automatic gearbox, and the 1.5TD version is equipped with a DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox and a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 7DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox is led by Geely Automobile’s European R & D Center and jointly developed by Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars. It adopts European technical standards, with large transmission torque and a maximum transmission efficiency of 97%, thus realizing the Lynk & Co 02 shift without delay, and driving passion is ready to go; the 6-speed manual gearbox is developed with a modular system for Getrac, with better shifting performance, thus bringing higher driving pleasure to consumers.

As a high-energy coupe SUV, the Lynk & Co 02 has a minimum ground clearance of 201mm, which has excellent passing performance in the face of irregular road surfaces. At the same time, the Lynk & Co 02 is equipped with the fifth-generation BorgWarner intelligent four-wheel drive system, which has the leading suspension beating stroke and more accurate power distribution. When driving on normal roads, the torque distribution between the front and rear axles of the vehicle is 100:0, and the vehicle is driven in the form of front drive. When the system detects skidding in the front wheels, the four-wheel drive system will automatically distribute power to the rear axle, up to a maximum of 50:50, enabling the Lynk & Co 02 to have excellent escape ability in complex road conditions.

Lynk & Co 02 not only focuses on improving driving performance in the traditional sense, but also extends the driving experience to the strength of all-round intelligent driving control technology. Lynk & Co 02 is equipped with 17 advanced intelligent driving assistance technologies, including ACCQA adaptive cruise system with automatic queuing function, AEB active emergency braking system with pedestrian identification function, SAP + automatic parking assistance system with parking and departure, and DVR driving recorder, which have become the "killer card" of the car to win users’ favor.

ACCQA’s adaptive cruise system with queuing function has the functions of cruise, follow-up, follow-up and follow-up, and can set 5 different follow-up distances to adapt to different roads. Among them, the follow-up function is equipped with within 3s after the follow-up stop, the front car restarts and accelerates, and follows the acceleration until the set time distance; and when the stop exceeds 3s, just tap the accelerator or press the Resume button on the multi-function steering wheel to reactivate the ACC, and you can continue to enjoy the easy and convenient follow-up function.

The FCW Forward Collision Warning System and AEB’s active braking system with pedestrian recognition function complement each other to make the car more comfortable and at ease. When the FCW Forward Collision Warning System detects the risk of a collision within 150 meters ahead, it will issue a warning to the driver. If the driver does not respond, the AEB will automatically apply full braking to the vehicle to avoid accidents. At the same time, the system can also detect and identify pedestrians in front of the vehicle. When the vehicle speed is within 30km/h, pedestrians over 80cm in height can completely avoid collisions with them. If the vehicle speed is greater than 30km/h, the degree of accident damage can be greatly reduced. When the vehicle speed is within 40 kilometers per hour, it can completely avoid collisions with stationary vehicles, and within 40 kilometers per hour of the speed difference, it can completely avoid collisions with moving vehicles in front.

People-car interconnection × cloud interconnection, building seamless links of information

In order to meet the needs of future connected travel and make the car a node of the Internet, Lynk & Co 02 is based on a high-speed, stable and reliable electronic and electrical architecture to achieve efficient mass data transmission, providing consumers with a real-time connected experience of human-vehicle interconnection × cloud interconnection.

Once again, Huawei is far ahead. Can visual intelligence drive "hang" Tesla?

As we expected before, Huawei will never sit idly by in the face of the limelight.

At the HarmonyOS Ecological Spring Communication Meeting held on April 11th, Yu Chengdong took out the products that had not been listed for a long time before and "listed" them again.

However, don’t think this is "fried cold rice", because this time, Yu Chengdong has made a big move again.

This is Huawei’sVisual intelligent driving scheme.

When it comes to visual driving, you may think of Tesla for the first time. After all, Tesla was the first enterprise to do smart driving development along this technical route.

Different from the current mainstream high-order intelligent driving scheme, this technical route can not rely on lidar. Only millimeter-wave radar and high-definition camera are used to achieve high-level automatic driving assistance.

The advantage of this technical route is that the cost of bicycle parts can be greatly reduced. Although the BOM cost of lidar has been declining in recent years, in order to play the role of sensing hardware, it needs a high computing power chip, and the overall cost is still high.

Yu Chengdong has said many times before that the high-order ADS scheme with laser radar in HarmonyOS will lose money if the price is below 300,000 yuan.

However, the visual scheme also has its own disadvantages. First, in some extreme scenes (such as heavy rain and fog, strong backlight), recognition may be wrong. Second, if we want to deal with the complex road conditions like downtown areas, we also need a very large amount of code and computing power to support it without relying on the pure vision scheme of laser radar.

In this regard, Tesla’s solution is to borrow the end-to-end AI big model to replace the traditional perception, description, prediction, planning and other modules, and hand over the driving decision to AI neural network. However, the highest level of FSD has not been able to land, and the strength of castrated EAP is almost interesting, so the recognition of this technical route in the domestic market is relatively low.

So how did Huawei do it?

At this conference, the entry-level Pro model of Zhijie S7 showed Huawei’s thinking on visual solutions.

In hardware, Zhijie S7 Pro version uses 10 lateral and forward-backward sensing cameras, plus 3 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars for fusion. The software part uses GOD general obstacle detection network and RCR road topology inference network. Functionally, it does not rely on high-precision maps to achieve high-speed navigation that can be opened all over the country.

In terms of hardware configuration, the perceived hardware gap between Pro version and MAX is only lidar. However, in terms of intelligence, the PRO version should be 48T, and the MAX version should be 200T.

According to the media measurement, the effect of this scheme is still quite OK. Whether it is high-speed NCA or APA parking, the strength can "hang" Tesla’s EAP. Even compared with Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system, the performance of this pure vision scheme can also maintain the strength of the first echelon in various high-speed navigation systems.

Considering the lower hardware cost of this scheme, if it is further popularized, the lethality will still be very terrible.

Kung fu is angry

In the face of the "second half" of the smart electricity revolution, Huawei once again showed us the strength of its "arsenal".

Although the visual intelligent driving scheme released this time is ostensibly a "replacement" of Huawei’s high-end ADS. However, if the technology is further mature, it is not excluded that Huawei’s smart driving will gradually turn to a purely visual solution.

K Financial Report | NIO (Part 1): Sales revenue has risen, not only is there no profit, but the loss is even greater

The more cars are sold, the higher the income, but when can the loss stop?

On the evening of April 2, NIO disclosed its delivery performance for March and the first quarter. The next day, NIO’s Hong Kong stock price rose by 2.14%, but it fell by 7.63% and 5.6% respectively in the following two trading days. Its US stock price fell for three consecutive trading days.

Coincidentally, when NIO disclosed its 2022 earnings and February sales in early March, the first feedback from NIO’s dual-stock was equally optimistic. So how did NIO perform in March and the first quarter? What about its performance in 2022?

The first quarter of the first quarter met expectations, and the sales volume was "among the best"

Data show that in March, NIO deliveries were 10,400, an increase of 3.94% year-on-year, down 14.63% month-on-month; among them, 3203 high-end smart electric SUVs were delivered, and 7175 high-end smart electric cars were delivered. In the first quarter of this year, NIO deliveries were 31,000, an increase of 20.46% year-on-year.

In terms of industry level, whether in March or the first quarter, among several new power car companies, NIO’s performance can be regarded as "among the best". In addition to being led by Li Auto, Nezha, Xiaopeng, Zero Run, etc. were all left behind by NIO. It is worth mentioning that the ideal sales volume in March was twice that of NIO.

However, once upon a time, the throne of the new power delivering the championship has been firmly occupied by NIO. Whether the future NIO can regain the championship throne is uncertain, but it seems unlikely this year.

This can be seen from the annual sales target and current sales performance of NIO and Ideal 2023: the former’s goal this year is 250,000 vehicles, the first quarter sales of 31,000 vehicles, to complete the annual sales target of 12.4%; while the latter’s goal is between 250,000 – 300,000 vehicles, the first quarter sales of 52,600 vehicles, to complete the annual sales target of 21.04% -17.53%.

From the current data performance, NIO has suffered a lot.

It is worth noting that although NIO has achieved its sales target for the first quarter of this year, it can only be said to be a near miss.

According to NIO’s previous expectations in the 2022 annual performance report, its delivery volume in the first quarter of this year will be between 31,000 – 33,000 vehicles, an increase of about 20.3% -28.1% year-on-year. It can be said that NIO completed the delivery task in the first quarter.


"The image is from the NIO announcement."

In addition, NIO expects revenue guidance for the first quarter of this year to be 10.62 billion – 11.54 billion yuan, an increase of about 10.2% -16.5% year-on-year. But there is no clear guidance for earnings expectations.

However, it may be reasonable. After all, NIO, which saw a 33.97% year-on-year increase in sales in 2022, has not achieved profitability despite a significant increase in revenue. Instead, its losses have further expanded.

Sales revenue has skyrocketed, so why are there more losses?

According to the financial report disclosed by NIO, in 2022, NIO sales reached 122,500 vehicles, an increase of 33.97% year-on-year; revenue reached 49.269 billion yuan, an increase of 36.34% year-on-year.

From the perspective of sales and revenue data, both have reached new highs, and NIO’s performance last year seems to be good. However, in the face of both sales and revenue growth exceeding 30%, NIO’s overall profitability not only did not rise, but its losses further expanded.

The financial report shows that NIO’s net profit attributable to the parent last year was a loss of 14.559 billion yuan, 10.572 billion yuan from the loss in 2021, an increase of 37.71% year-on-year.

At the same time, NIO’s bicycle net profit also changed from a loss of 115,600 yuan in 2021 to a loss of 118,900 yuan in 2022. That is, in 2022, NIO lost nearly 120,000 yuan for every car sold.

In addition, NIO’s net loss reached 14.437 billion yuan last year, compared with the net loss of 4.017 billion yuan in 2021, and the loss expanded by 2.6 times.

The question is, sales are rising and revenue is increasing, so why are you losing more and more money? Where is the money being spent?

From the financial report, the two largest expenses of NIO are sales costs and research and development expenses, which alone cost nearly 55 billion yuan, directly exceeding revenue.

Specifically, in 2022, NIO’s sales cost reached 44.125 billion yuan, an increase of 50.5% year-on-year. This is not unrelated to last year’s "expensive electricity" and the large-scale laying of replacement stations, charging stations, charging piles, etc., which has become a direct cause of dragging down NIO’s profitability.

In 2022, affected by the skyrocketing price of lithium carbonate, battery costs skyrocketed simultaneously, which also caused the cost of new energy vehicles to rise sharply, which in turn led to a sharp drop in automotive gross profit margins. According to the financial report, NIO gross profit margin has dropped from 20.1% in 2021 to 13.7% in 2022.


"The image is from the NIO announcement."

NIO’s R & D expenses last year were as high as 10.836 billion yuan, up 136% year-on-year from 4.592 billion yuan in 2021, accounting for nearly 22% of revenue. Whether it is from the investment amount or the proportion of revenue, it can be regarded as a big deal in the automotive industry, which shows NIO’s emphasis on R & D.

You know, Li Auto and XPeng Motors invested 6.78 billion and 5.215 billion yuan in research and development last year, respectively, while accounting for 14.97% and 19.42% of revenue respectively.

To sum up, NIO’s sales revenue has increased, but it still loses money "for a reason", but for a for-profit company, this is obviously not "reasonable", but exposes its lack of cost control and profitability.

So, is the NIO that loses money really bad? Please continue to pay attention to "Automotive K Line", and we will look for answers in the next article of the NIO 2022 financial analysis article.

How can one person manage 2,000 acres of land?

On the big screen, each field has its own exclusive information and digital code, and can learn about planting information and the latest situation of crop growth and environment in real time. It can also give production operation plans based on soil, weather, and crop growth data through artificial intelligence algorithms, so as to achieve accurate implementation.

This is the "three-yuan farm intelligent system" developed by the Chongqing Shuyun Smart Agriculture Science and Technology Academy of China Agricultural University (hereinafter referred to as "Shuyun Science and Technology Academy"), which has been rooted in Chongqing for more than four years, and has brought changes to Chongqing Banan Shengtian Village, Dianjiang Biqiao Village, Rongchang Shabazi Village, etc.

One person can easily manage 2,000 acres of land

In Shengtian Village, the 2,000-acre grain and oil base here is very "smart" because it has a smart grain and oil planting management system. From planting seedlings on cultivated land, spraying irrigation to harvesting, the whole process only needs a computer and a system to realize remote management.

From the large-screen data monitoring page, you can not only see the distribution of fields and the planting area of various crops, but also monitor the real-time picture of each field, as well as the temperature, humidity, and moisture content of the soil at different levels.

"After the crops are harvested, the relevant products can also be standardized and traceable on this system, ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products." Zhu Feng, the relevant person in charge of the grain and oil base, introduced that each batch of products can see the environmental data of its origin and production process through the QR code. For consumers, the whole life process of agricultural products is completely transparent.

It is understood that to ensure the standardization of the quality of agricultural products, the teachers and students of Shuyun Science and Technology Institute introduced the concept of industrial ERP management, developed farm management Enterprise Resource Planning, condensed the "three-yuan farm intelligent system", and standardized production management of the whole process. The field is equipped with multiple sets of Internet of Things devices, including sensors, weather stations, cameras, edge computing devices, etc., which turn the situation in the field into data, and digitize the farm to a large screen at the first time. One person can manage more than 2,000 acres of land. At present, the technology has been applied in more than 10 farms in Chongqing.

Book agricultural machinery homework like "online car-hailing"

During the spring ploughing season this year, Jietingyan, a villager in Helu Village, Shilong Town, Banan District, experienced the efficiency and convenience of "one-click order" for agricultural machinery services for the first time. "After I placed an order on the online platform, someone replied to me in a few minutes, and the machine came to the field to work the next day!"

The online platform on which Jietingyan placed the order is the "Yunjian · Agricultural Industry Internet Platform" (hereinafter referred to as "Yunjian"). During the research process, the teachers and students of Shuyun Science and Technology Academy designed and cooperated with enterprises to develop the "Yunjian" platform for agricultural materials, agricultural machinery, agricultural technology and other issues reported by farmers, mainly providing production, marketing, and other industrial chain services.

Among them, "Yun Agricultural Affairs" gathers most of the agricultural machinery socialization service teams in the region, and farmers can book agricultural machinery operations and full hosting at any time like "online car-hailing"; "Yun Agricultural Materials" provides agricultural materials collection and distribution services, which reduces the cost of agricultural materials; "Yun Production" provides planting and breeding digital management tools; "Yun Experts" can ask experts agricultural technology questions online or request on-site guidance.

In addition, there are more than 10 agricultural services such as "Yun Adoption" and "Yun Service" to jointly empower the regional agricultural industry.

At present, the platform has settled in 24 service organizations and more than 200 pieces of agricultural machinery information in Banan District, and nearly 130 agricultural machinery operators provide operation services on the platform. Since its launch, a total of 34,307 mu of operation area (including high-standard farmland) has been released, and the order amount is more than 3.3 million yuan.

  The surging news noticed that the "Measures" have a total of 28 articles, about one-third of which are about the protection of the rights and interests of the delivery staff, involving employment contracts, social insurance, and work salary rules.

  "As a new employment form, online delivery workers belong to a disadvantaged group in the online catering takeaway industry chain, so the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of online delivery workers is the key content of the Measures," said the relevant person in charge of the Hangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Bureau.

  The "Measures" make it clear that platform operators, catering providers and independent online delivery staff, food delivery operators and online delivery staff, who meet the conditions of establishing labor relations, shall conclude employment contracts according to law and participate in social insurance;If it does not fully comply with the establishment of labor relations, a written agreement shall be concluded to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.Guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of online delivery personnel such as work remuneration, rest, and work safety in accordance with the law, and actively guide and support them to participate in social insurance at the place of employment as flexible employees.

  If the online delivery staff delivers meals through the online catering service platform but does not fully comply with the establishment of labor relations, the platform operator can participate in single-insurance industrial injury insurance for them, and the social insurance agency shall handle it in accordance with the relevant provincial and municipal regulations; encourage platform operators, catering providers and delivery operators to provide online delivery staff with occupational injury-related commercial insurance plans.

  Regarding labor compensation, the "Measures" make it clear that platform operators, catering providers and food delivery operators shall improve the rules for the work compensation of online delivery staff, formulate reasonable single distribution compensation and workload assessment requirements, clarify the time and method of payment of work compensation, and pay it in full on time. If online delivery staff deliver meals on statutory holidays, bad weather, night and other circumstances, platform operators, catering providers and food delivery operators are encouraged to increase the single distribution compensation or give appropriate subsidies.

  The relevant person in charge of the Hangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Bureau said at the meeting that the "Measures" also stipulate the management responsibilities of platform operators. "For example, for independent online delivery personnel, it stipulates the platform’s information registration, vocational training management and other responsibilities, and requires the platform to sign a written agreement with it, participate in insurance for it, etc. At the same time, the platform shall not induce or force independent online delivery personnel to register as individual industrial and commercial households to evade the above obligations. This is the first time in China that more specific regulations have been made on the management of independent online delivery personnel."

Focus interview: Wan Li’s "driving" that affects the relationship between the two places

  CCTV News(Focus interview): On January 2, the city of Korla in Xinjiang received a sincere thank-you letter from Peixian County, Jiangsu Province, 4,700 kilometers away. The letter thanked Mansour Patar, 38, and Maimaiti Nurdong, 42, of Korla City, for their nearly 10,000-mile "free chauffeur" from Xinjiang to Jiangsu. The letter said: "This kind act of righteousness has almost crossed the whole of China, warmed this winter, and vividly explained the deep friendship between brothers and sisters of all ethnic groups." One east and one west, the journey is long, why is this "free chauffeur" so affectionate and dreamy?

  Zhao Xulei, a truck driver recovering at home in Peixian County, Jiangsu Province, is video chatting with Mansour and Maimaiti, who are far away in Korla, Xinjiang. They chat like brothers, but they didn’t know each other a few months ago.

  "My name is Mansour Pattal, I’m 38 years old, I live in Korla, Xinjiang, and I’m a truck driver," said Mansour Pattal.

  "I am a truck driver from Korla, Xinjiang," says Mr. Nurdon. "We are busiest from July to November. We pull boxes of grapes in July, grapes in August and cotton, cottonseed and husks in November. We usually go to Aksu, Kashgar and southern Xinjiang a little more."

  Last October, Zhao Xulei, a truck driver from Jiangsu Province, rushed to Xinjiang with his wife, Wang Cui, to join the cotton caravan during the cotton harvest season. During this time, he met local Uighur truck drivers Mansour and Maimaiti, and the three became good friends because of their similar temperaments.

  However, the accident suddenly happened to Zhao Xulei. On November 17, 2021, Zhao Xulei was hit in the head by an iron chain while unloading, and his eyes were seriously injured. His wife Wang Cui was very anxious. They had no relatives in Xinjiang, only Mansour and Maimaiti, who had just known each other for 11 days. With the idea of giving it a try, Wang Cui asked them for help.

  Zhao Xulei’s wife, Wang Cui, said: "I called Mansour. He arrived at the scene immediately and arranged for us to stay in the hospital. He also took me to the responsible party and the court.

  When we first met, our eyes were fine, and Zhao Xulei was also quite handsome. Suddenly, after more than ten days, our eyes could not be seen. We felt very uncomfortable, because we were friends. "

  With the help of two Xinjiang friends who were very affectionate and righteous, Zhao Xulei was rescued in time. More than half a month later, because his injury was too serious, his treatment encountered new difficulties.

  Liu Jie, an eye, nose and throat doctor at Korla Hospital of the Second Division of the Corps, said: "When he was brought in, the trauma to his left eye was very serious, and he could no longer see anything in his eye. After our treatment, his vision did not recover. We suggested that he go to a better hospital in Beijing for treatment."

  It is urgent to go to Beijing for treatment. In addition to the treatment fee, what worries Zhao Xulei is that the source of the family’s livelihood – the large truck bought with a loan – is still in Xinjiang, who can drive it back to Xuzhou?

  "He’s under a lot of pressure," said Mr. Nurdon. "He has a loan for this car, and he can’t pay it back if he stops. The key is that he has four people in his family and two children."

  Zhao Xulei said: "At that time, I also called the old watch in my hometown and wanted to ask him to go to Xinjiang. He said that the journey was too long, and he had never run that far by himself."

  "Zhao Xulei is also in a hurry to use money, and his living conditions are average," said Mansoor Patar. "He also spent a lot of money, more than 100,000 yuan at Korla Hospital."

  Zhao Xulei’s unfortunate experience made Maimaiti and Mansour anxious in their eyes. If a friend is in trouble, they have to help. They decided on the spot that they would help Zhao Xulei send the car back to Jiangsu no matter what.

  Zhao Xulei said, "I was very surprised. They directly said that we will drive your truck back, not a penny, but send it to you. When they said this, they were moved to tears.

  With the help of a good friend, Zhao Xulei, accompanied by his wife, went to Beijing for treatment with peace of mind. Mansour and Maimaiti also immediately began to prepare for this special "driving". This time it was a long journey, and the decision was made in a hurry, and the family was unaware of it.

  Mansour Pattal said: "I said a word, and my wife also supported me. After that, I called my family. After calling, I was worried that if she didn’t agree, my friend would be embarrassed."

  "I said of course I agree," said Mr. Mansour’s wife, Patiguri Kurban. "What if it’s not Zhao Xulei or you in this situation? Can I go and fetch you back by myself? Can you handle this by yourself? It’s okay, if you can help, please help, and then I asked him how the travel expenses were solved?"

  Mansour and Maimaiti’s family are not well-off. This is the time of year in Xinjiang when there are many goods and busy cars to make money. Not only do they not care about making money, but they also post money to send cars to Zhao Xulei. It is estimated that the cost on the road is 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, which is indeed a big burden for them.

  Because of the delivery to Wuxi, this trip spanned 10,000 miles. He and Maimaiti shared the insufficient freight. The two of them had an idea not to let Zhao Xulei, who was still recovering, add a penny to the burden. On December 9, 2021, they set off. In order to save money and time, Mansour and Maimaiti ate and stayed in the car all the way, using the instant noodles and naan they brought when they left to satisfy their hunger.

  From Korla, Xinjiang to Peixian County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, running through most of China. In the early morning of December 17, 2021, after a long journey of 8 days and 8 nights, Mansour and Maimaiti finally delivered the car to the agreed location with Zhao Xulei: Xuzhou, Jiangsu. As agreed, the car was safely delivered to Zhao Xulei’s hometown. Mansour and Maimaiti fulfilled their promise, and then they went to the hotel to have a good night’s sleep.

  Mr. Mansour’s wife, Patiguri Kurban, said: "My husband said the car has been delivered safely and we should go back to Xinjiang. I said don’t forget that my birthday is next week, and my husband said he will be back on time for your birthday."

  Just as they were about to buy tickets back to Xinjiang, Zhao Xulei, who was being treated in Beijing, stopped them. Zhao Xulei has not yet healed his eye injury, but he is in a hurry to return to Xuzhou despite the doctor’s dissuasion.

  Zhao Xulei said: "They put their truck there and drove my car back. During this period of more than half a month, they also lost more than 20,000 yuan. After arriving at their hometown, they called to leave, and I said you can’t leave. We haven’t met yet, and the family hasn’t thanked them yet."

  "He said never to go back. It would be best to have a meal before leaving. His father, mother and friends all look at their Xinjiang friends," said Mr. Nurdon.

  Vote for me with a wooden peach, and repay it with Qiongyao. In order to thank the two righteous good friends, Zhao Xulei took them to see his parents.

  Patiguri Kurban said, "Zhao Xulei’s mother was so moved that she cried. She hugged my husband and his friend Maimaiti and said that you are also my son. My husband was very touched when he said this.

  Considering their first visit to Jiangsu, Zhao Xulei’s family repeatedly asked them to stay for a few more days to see the scenery of Jiangsu. Zhao Xulei also endured the pain of his eye injury and insisted on guiding them throughout the journey. During his stay in Xuzhou, Zhao Xulei was most worried about the two Xinjiang brothers not having a good time, while the Xinjiang brothers were worried about Zhao Xulei’s injury.

  Wanli car delivery by Zhao Xulei’s friends after the praise by the media reports, won widespread praise.

  Huang Houli, director of the Rong Media Center in Peixian County, Jiangsu Province, said: "After the Rong Media Center reported the incident, the county party committee and county government immediately sent a thank you letter and took out rewards from the Peixian Good People Fund to reward the two Uighur brothers for their kind deeds."

  On December 27, 2021, Mansour and Maimaiti returned to Korla. On December 30, Mansour fulfilled his promise to his wife and celebrated her birthday.

  The three brothers’ love that spans nearly 10,000 miles has now become the link between the two cities, and the story of ethnic unity and one family continues: on January 12, more than a dozen media from Jiangsu and Xinjiang joined forces to launch a live broadcast to help Xinjiang Ruoqiang red dates sell, and the Peixian Rong Media Center invited the injured driver Zhao Xulei to help on the spot. Zhao Xulei said: "The righteous deeds of the Xinjiang brothers have made me realize the family love that spans thousands of miles. I hope more people can learn about Xinjiang through us. Xinjiang not only has red dates, but also Korla fragrant pears, Aksu apples, Xinjiang cotton, etc., and there are many good people." Seeing the little things, all ethnic groups are tightly hugged like pomegranate seeds, hand-in-hand matchmaking, watching and helping each other, so that we can share a beautiful life.

Detailed explanation of the four major highlights of Hongmeng OS! Huawei’s ambition is not just mobile phones, but "unified rivers and lakes"

  At the Huawei Developers Conference, held today in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, Huawei’s consumer business officially launched its new microkernel-based distributed operating system for all scenarios – Hongmeng OS.

  Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business, said in the main speech that in the traditional model of the past, the emergence of each new form of end point will be accompanied by the birth of new operating systems. "Whether it is in the PC era, the mobile Internet era, or the Internet of Things era that 5G is about to give birth to, different eras will give birth to different operating systems." Therefore, in the face of the upcoming era of full-scene intelligence, "there should also be corresponding operating systems." Yu Chengdong said bluntly: "With the advent of the era of full-scene wisdom, Huawei believes that it is necessary to further enhance the cross-platform capability of the operating system, including the ability to support full-scene, across multiple devices and platforms, and the ability to deal with low-latency and high-security challenges. Therefore, the embryonic form of Hongmeng OS has gradually formed. It can be said that the starting point of Hongmeng OS is different from Android and iOS. It is a brand-new microkernel-based distributed operating system for all scenes, which can meet the requirements of smooth experience of all scenes, architecture-level trusted security, seamless collaboration across end points, and multi-end point deployment at one time. Hongmeng should be born in the future."

  According to him, as early as ten years ago, Huawei began to lay out Hongmeng OS, and now with the continuous improvement of Huawei’s full-scene smart life strategy, Hongmeng OS will be the product of Huawei to meet the arrival of the full-scene experience era, play its lightweight, small and powerful advantages, take the lead in applying smart watches, smart screens, in-vehicle equipment, smart speakers and other intelligent end points, and strive to build a cross-end point integration sharing ecosystem, reshape a safe and reliable operating environment, and create a new experience for consumers.

  Four highlights of Hongmeng OS

  According to Yu Chengdong, the original intention of Hongmeng OS is to meet the high-standard connection requirements of full-scene intelligent experience, and Huawei has proposed a system solution with four major characteristics for this purpose.

  1. Distributed architecture for the first time for end point OS, enabling seamless collaborative experience across end points

  Hongmeng OS "distributed OS architecture" and "distributed soft bus technology" through the public communication platform, distributed data management, distributed scheduling capabilities and virtual peripherals four capabilities, the corresponding distributed application of the underlying technology implementation difficulty of application developers shield, so that developers can focus on their own business logic, like the development of the same end point to develop cross-end point distributed applications, but also enable end consumers to enjoy a strong cross-end point business collaboration capabilities for the use of scenarios to bring a seamless experience.

  2. Determine the natural fluency of the delay engine and high-performance IPC technology implementation system

  Hongmeng OS solves the problem of insufficient performance of existing systems by using two technologies: determined delay engine and high-performance IPC. Determined delay engine can allocate task execution priority and time limit in the system before task execution. High-priority task resources will be prioritized to ensure scheduling, and application response delay will be reduced by 25.7%. The small structure of Hongmeng microkernel greatly improves the performance of IPC (inter-process communication), and the process communication efficiency is 5 times higher than that of existing systems.

  3. Reshape end point device trusted security based on microkernel architecture

  Hongmeng OS adopts a new microkernel design, which has stronger security features and low latency. The basic idea of microkernel design is to simplify the kernel function, implement as many system services as possible in user mode outside the kernel, and add mutual security protection. Microkernels only provide the most basic services, such as multi-process scheduling and multi-process communication.

  Hongmeng OS applies microkernel technology to Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to reinvent trusted security through formal methods. Formal methods are effective means to use mathematical methods to verify that the system is correct and free of vulnerabilities from the source. Traditional verification methods such as function verification and simulated attacks can only be verified in selected limited scenarios, while formal methods can verify all software running paths through data models. Hongmeng OS applies formal methods to end point TEE for the first time, which significantly improves the security level. At the same time, because the code volume of Hongmeng microOS kernel is only one thousandth of that of Linux macro kernel, its probability of being attacked is also greatly reduced.

  4. Support one development, multi-terminal deployment through unified IDE to achieve cross-end point ecological sharing

  Hongmeng OS relies on multi-end point development IDE, multi-language unified compilation, distributed architecture Kit provides screen layout controls and automatic adaptation of interaction, supports control drag and drop, and visual programming for preview, so that developers can efficiently build multi-end automatic running apps based on the same project, realize true one-time development, multi-terminal deployment, and realize a shared ecosystem between devices. Huawei Ark Compiler is the first static compiler to replace the Android virtual machine mode, allowing developers to compile high-level languages into machine code at one time in the development environment. In addition, Ark Compiler will support multi-language unified compilation in the future, which can greatly improve development efficiency.

  The past and present life of "Hongmeng" OS

  In 2017, Hongmeng Kernel 1.0 completed the technical verification.

  In 2018, Hongmeng kernel 2.0 was applied to end point TEE

  In 2019, Hongmeng OS 1.0 was completed, based on the open-source framework, in which Huawei self-developed in key modules, using distributed architecture and ARK compiler. Determine the delay engine, launch TEE microkernel formal verification, multi-end point development IDE (Beta), and currently Hongmeng system will be applied to smart screens.

  In 2020, Hongmeng OS 2.0 is about to appear, the kernel and application framework are self-developed, the general micro-kernel architecture, high-performance graphics stack are launched, multi-language unified compilation, multi-end point development IDE, meet the car standard, and applied to innovative domestic PC, watch/bracelet, car machine and other products.

  It is expected that by 2021, Hongmeng OS 3.0 will complete soft and hard collaborative optimization, vertical acceleration file system, software and hardware collaborative high-performance IPC, and be applied to audio headphones. After 2022, Hongmeng system will be applied to VR glasses and other devices.

  Explanation of terms

  What is a microsystem?

  The micro kernel is a stripped-down version of the kernel that provides the core functions of the operating system. It is designed to increase portability in a small memory space and provides a modular design to allow users to install different interfaces, such as DOS, Workplace OS, Workplace UNIX, etc. New operating systems such as IBM, Microsoft, the Open Software Foundation (OSF), and the UNIX Systems Laboratory (USL) have all adopted the advantages of this research.

Apple iPhone 16

  IT Home December 13th news, foreign technology media MacRumors today released a blog post, sharing the relevant information of Apple iPhone 16 standard version models.

  IT House quoted the media report, Apple iPhone 16
The design and development of the standard version is still in the early stages, and Apple engineers call it "DeLorean", which may differ somewhat from the final retail version.

  design

  According to the internal information currently available, Apple has designed a number of iPhone 16 prototypes internally.

  The yellow prototype has an operation button, and the volume button has a coherent design, and the back has a camera island design similar to the iPhone X.

  The pink prototype is equipped with an operation button, a separate mechanical volume button; the black prototype is equipped with a larger operation button and a dedicated camera button.

  Camera Island Adjustment

  Apple has tested a variety of camera island solutions, and compared with the existing diagonal design, the new model attempts to be designed vertically to enhance device recognition.

  However, reports say Apple is experimenting with two different camera bump solutions:

  iPhone 12 style design, square camera island, but the camera adopts vertical scheme;

  iPhone X style design, using pill shape design.

  Relative to the iPhone 15, both designs have the same flash position, indicating that Apple does not plan to change the position of the flash.

  No tactile volume/power button

  IT House previously reported that Apple is advancing the project internally with "Project Bongo", with plans to redesign the volume and power buttons to bring new interactive experiences in terms of functionality and appearance.

  And Project Bongo
The volume and power buttons are changed from traditional mechanical buttons to tactile buttons, which detect pressure and simulate the pressing of physical buttons by using a vibration-generating haptic engine (haptic feedback).

  The feedback mechanism for the Bongo project to press the haptic button is as follows:

  Below the button is a bend sensor that measures the pressure applied to the button.

  The strain gauge detects a change in pressure, converts it into a change in resistance, and accurately measures the change.

  A signal is sent to the main logic board indicating that the button has been pressed.

  The main logic board issues power commands to the Bongo haptic engine

  Bongo’s haptic engine uses electromagnetic fields to generate vibrations

  Then haptic feedback is generated by vibration, and a slight upward movement towards the finger mimics the sensation of a physical button being pressed.

  The component has two strain gauges, one on each side of the button. The strain gauge detects a change in pressure and converts it into a change in resistance within the circuit. The change in resistance causes a change in voltage, and the potential difference between the two strain gauges is used to determine the position of the pressure origin (volume increase or volume decrease).

  Apple originally planned to use it on iPhone 15 Pro series models, but it was cancelled earlier this year due to a number of technical issues.

  The media said Apple did not continue to deepen the project, Apple iPhone 16 models will still be equipped with mechanical buttons.

  operation button

  The biggest change in Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro series is to cancel the mute pick and use the operation button instead.

  The iPhone 16 series models launched next year will also follow, using operation buttons.

  Apple is working internally on Project Atlas, but is trying to change the operation buttons from mechanical to capacitive.

  Add a new photo button

  Apple tried to install a new button on the right side of the iPhone 16, bringing a new capacitive camera button, codenamed Project Nova internally.

  Not much is known about Project Nova, which will be equipped with force sensors in addition to a "touch toggle" feature.

  In addition, the photo button is located in the same location as the millimeter wave cutout on iPhone models sold in the United States, so in iPhone 16, the millimeter wave antenna has been moved to the left side of the device.

  Continue to use Dynamic Island and USB-C ports

  Without any noticeable changes to the front of the iPhone 16, the opportunity continues with Dynamic Island, and the base model iPhone 16 is expected to feature a similar display to its predecessor, with no major differences. With
iPhone 15, iPhone 16 has a USB-C port on the bottom of the device.

  color

  In terms of color, early prototypes were available in three colors: yellow, pink, and midnight.

  summary

  iPhone 16 overall appearance will not be much adjustment, the main updates are:

  Vertical camera arrangement, possibly similar to iPhone 12

  New capacitive camera button

  Capacitive operation button

Ease the Heat and Drink Healthy – Market Research on Beverage Consumption Season

        The domestic soda brands that triggered the nostalgia trend are back in sight again; low-sugar and sugar-free drinks are sought after by consumers; coconut water has become a hit this year; new tea drinks are constantly up the ante market layout… How is this year’s summer beverage market lively! What are the factors driving these out-of-circle and hot? How are the new changes perceived by consumers happening? What direction will the next beverage market competition focus on?

  The traditional peak season for beverage sales has come to an end since October. Looking back at the summer just passed, the beverage products that cooled down the heat can be said to have "been in the limelight", and the sales volume has also increased rapidly. What is more interesting is that there have been many new trends and new trends in the beverage market in the rapid development. The reporter visited a number of market segments, trying to review the gains and losses of this summer’s beverage market.

  Nostalgic wind and fire domestic soda

  Soda is widely favored by consumers as one of the "tools" to relieve the summer heat. Judging from the consumption of soda this year, although Coca-Cola and Pepsi continue to occupy a strong position, domestic soda is also gradually "breaking the circle". According to Meituan data, as of the end of August, the instant retail sales of major domestic soda brands such as Shanhaiguan, Bawangsi, Second Factory soda, Arctic Ocean, Asian soda, Laoshan soda, Tianfu Cola, Zhengguanghe and so on increased by 47% year-on-year.

  Since the early 1990s, imported soda brands have been "top the chart" in the carbonated beverage market for many years, and still maintain a market share of more than 80%. But since last year, some domestic soda brands have found new ways in the cracks, and the starting point of "fate gear rotation" is the expansion of catering channels.

  With the vitality of food and beverage consumption this year, the sales of domestic soda have ushered in an upswing period. In restaurants, whether it is eating hot pot or ordering barbecue, a bottle of domestic soda has gradually become the first choice for consumers. Lao Luan, who runs a barbecue shop in Tiexi District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, said that the large-packaged glass soda of the Dayao brand is the most popular in the store. At present, the monthly sales volume of several hundred bottles is far higher than that of other traditional brands of soda. Lao Luan believes that affordability is the main reason why large bottles of soda sell well.

  There are not only big kilns, but also Bingfeng. As a local soda brand in Shaanxi, Bingfeng soda, Liangpi, and Roujiamo form the "Sanqin Package", which has become a must-have product in restaurants and supermarkets in the streets and alleys of the ancient city of Xi’an.

  In addition to focusing on local market demand, domestic soda is also expanding in the national market. As of the end of August, the sales of Asian soda in Guangzhou increased by 41% year-on-year outside the province; the sales of Laoshan soda from Qingdao increased by 39% year-on-year outside the province; the sales of Hongbaolai soda from the northeast in the Beijing market have been on par with the local market, with a year-on-year growth rate of 131%.

  The second factory soda from Wuhan held two press conferences during this year’s peak sales season. The first one focused on the local market, and the second one looked at the national market from the Beijing area. The relevant person in charge of the second factory soda told reporters that there is a great demand for domestic soda in the market. The second factory soda achieved sales of more than 20 million yuan in July and more than 30 million yuan in August this year. "Consumers like to add fruit juice, which has both high quality and cost-effective products," the person in charge said.

  Although domestic soda has begun to "break the circle", it still needs to climb over the hurdle in order to achieve better development. Industry insiders pointed out that compared with imported brands, domestic soda has limited funds, making it difficult to support the continuous promotion of brands and channels. As consumers iteratively update, domestic soda brands still need to seek new breakthroughs in corporate management and product quality.

  Sugar-free tea is in the limelight

  Compared with the domestic soda that is still seeking breakthroughs, the sugar-free tea market that has been quiet for many years has ushered in explosive growth due to the trend of "sugar reduction".

  Before the reporter’s visit, the last bottle of sugar-free Pu’er tea in the freezer was bought by customers. "Customers of all ages can buy sugar-free tea drinks," Mr. Zhang said. "The Pu’er tea flavors have been sold out, and there are still two bottles of jasmine tea flavors left, which can only be replenished tomorrow." Wang Yu, a consumer who keeps sugar-free drinks in his home fridge, summed up the reason for choosing sugar-free drinks as "I am afraid of being fat and want to drink some tasty water".

  As consumers become increasingly health-conscious and demand for healthy consumption grows rapidly, "sugar reduction" is gradually becoming the consensus in the global food consumer market. Changing consumer attitudes towards sugar intake are affecting the position of sugar-free beverages in the beverage market from the bottom up. In the beverage market, various products are also being designed to switch from high sugar to low sugar and no sugar.

  According to iiMedia consulting data, from 2015 to 2022, the market size of China’s sugar-free beverage industry will increase year by year, from 2.26 billion yuan to 19.96 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 61.56 billion yuan in 2025. Especially sugar-free tea products are becoming a new trend in the sugar-free beverage market. Taking Nongfu Spring as an example, its revenue in the first half of 2023 was 20.462 billion yuan and profit was 5.775 billion yuan. Its tea beverage segment revenue reached 5.286 billion yuan, an increase of 59.8% year-on-year.

  "The sugar-free tea track still has huge room for imagination. At the same time, it also shows from the side that the Chinese beverage market has recovered well and is accelerating its development." The reporter found in the interview that this has become the consensus of many industry insiders.

  Looking back at the development of sugar-free tea, as early as 2004, the "King of Tea" brand under the unified subsidiary tried to test the sugar-free tea beverage market, and then a number of beverage giants including Coca-Cola, Nongfu Spring, Master Kong and others also entered this field one after another. But at that time, consumers preferred sugar-sweetened tea drinks mixed with sweet and fruity flavors, and the marketing activities of sugar-free tea products were difficult. Today’s popular "Oriental Leaf" has been ridiculed by netizens as "one of the five worst drinks" for a long time.

  After years of waiting, sugar-free tea has finally ushered in the development of "Dongfeng". The sugar-free tea product itself is in line with the tea drinking habits of domestic consumers, and the characteristics of zero sugar and zero fat make it more acceptable to consumers.

  In order to keep up with consumer demand, this year, major brands have also entered the sugar-free tea market, including Yuan Qi Sen Lin, Master Kong, Dongpeng, Yili, Panpan and other brands have launched new sugar-free tea series one after another. In addition to those "old acquaintances" in the beverage market, the sugar-free tea market has also attracted many new players. Taking the JD.com platform as an example, you can see that a number of new brands such as Tea, Tea, Rising Sun Forest, Dayido, Linlong Tea Room, and Keyang have entered the market.

  In the opinion of Qian Junjie, a commodity development expert at Dingdong Maicai, healthy and natural products have become the leading consumer in the beverage market, and this demand is rapidly being transmitted from first-tier cities to second- and third-tier cities. He told reporters that the average annual sales growth rate of sugar-free tea on the Dingdong platform is around 50%, and this data is expected to exceed 100% this year.

  The new tea drink continues to be "rolled in".

  Zhao Zhiqiang, from Hebei, has spent a month scouting the market in Tianjin to join a new tea brand that has recently become very popular. Before speaking to reporters, he had just missed a store in a shopping mall in Tianjin. "I went to check the location in the morning, but I didn’t expect to be told to rent it out in the afternoon." Zhao Zhiqiang said that the deposit for joining the brand has now been paid, but the specific store location has to be found by yourself. In the process of looking for a shop, Zhao Zhiqiang found that there are more and more new tea stores now. It is not easy to find a shop with the right location, flow of people and price.

  According to the "2023 New Tea Drinks Research Report" released by the China Chain Store Association and Meituan, as of August 31, the total number of new tea stores in operation was about 515,000, an increase of more than 36% from the 378,000 at the end of 2020.

  "Not only top brands, but also waist brands are opening up faster," Wang Hongtao, executive deputy secretary-general of the China Chain Store Association, told reporters. On the one hand, the recovery in consumption has brought an increase in demand, giving investors more confidence to participate in the new tea industry. On the other hand, brand companies have begun to adjust their business models and gradually open up franchise to promote the improvement of brand stores.

  At the end of last year, HEYTEA, the head brand of new tea drinks, announced the opening of franchise. According to media reports, the number of HEYTEA stores quickly reached 2,000 in the next six months, an increase far exceeding the total number of stores opened in the past few years. Not only HEYTEA, but more and more new tea brands have announced store opening plans during the year, and some brands have directly pointed to the "10,000 Store Plan".

  In early August, Bawang Chaji, a tea brand founded in the southwest region, announced that it began to enter shopping malls in the urban area of Beijing. According to the information released by the brand, from August 4th to 6th, the store sold a total of 11,230 orders, totaling more than 200,000 cups of milk tea.

  In addition to competing for the number of stores, tea brands also "roll in" prices. The "2023 Beverage Industry Spring and Summer 1000 + New Product Analysis Report" shows that from March to June this year, Meituan takeaway new product quantity price belt distribution, 13 yuan to 17 yuan accounted for 30%, followed by 17 yuan to 20 yuan accounted for 21%. It can be seen from the data that consumers are more sensitive to price, and cost-effective products will gradually become the mainstream of the market.

  At the end of August, Nayuki launched the "9.9 yuan drink fresh milk tea" activity, sounding the horn of a new round of price war for new tea drinks. After that, many brands followed suit one after another, and different brands’ products went from a weekly limited 9.9 yuan product, "rolled in" to a daily 9.9 yuan product.

  From the number of stores to the price of the products, what makes the new tea market so "involution"? According to the big data of Red Food, from 2015 to 2021, the market size of our country’s freshly made tea drinks increased from 42.20 billion yuan to 141.90 billion yuan, and the market size in 2022 was 142.30 billion yuan, an increase of only 0.3% compared with 2021. The slowdown in market size has exacerbated the intensity of "involution" among brands.

  At the financing level, capital has become relatively cautious about the entry of the tea track. According to the big data of the red meal, a total of 30 financing events were disclosed in the tea category in 2021, and the total amount of financing disclosed exceeded 12.50 billion yuan. In 2022, a total of 26 financing events were disclosed in the tea track, and the total amount of financing disclosed exceeded 4.50 billion yuan.

  Some industry insiders pointed out that after Nayuki went public in Hong Kong, the "second share of new tea drinks" has attracted much attention. In the past year, a number of new tea brands have been rumored to go public one after another. In the context of slowing down the overall financing of the market and fierce competition, especially in the lower-tier market, it is particularly important to seize this opportunity. In this process, it is even more important to rely on opening stores, reducing prices and other methods to rapidly expand scale and acquire more stock markets.

  Wang Hongtao also admitted that once a new tea company goes public, it will have a positive impact on improving its own development level and enhancing its ability to resist risks. At the same time, it will also increase trust and influence when expanding its scale.

  As one of the fastest-growing segments in the food industry, there are a lot of new categories and flavors in the beverage market this year. This summer’s beverage market has been on fire, and the "coconut wind" blowing from the coffee market is a typical example.

  In early 2021, Luckin Coffee launched the "raw coconut latte" product, which replaced the milk in the latte coffee with coconut milk, and the unique taste quickly became popular. Since then, "coconut flavor" has become one of the popular flavors in the beverage market. The reporter’s investigation found that this year, there are not only coconut milk with added coconut meat, original coconut water, thick coconut milk suitable for milk tea, but also functional drinks with added coconut water and coconut-flavored fruit and vegetable juice.

  Among the many "coconut flavor" products, coconut water products can be described as a fire. The "2022 China Beverage Industry Product Report" shows that the frequency of coconut use ranks first among the 40 tea brands sampled, 108 times more than the second-ranked strawberry; in the statistical sample, 92.5% of the brands have new coconut element products. Moreover, the domestic coconut water market has risen from 513 million yuan in 2018 to 780 million yuan in 2022, and it is expected to exceed 1 billion yuan in 2025.

  In Qian Junjie’s view, the natural properties of coconut water itself not only meet the healthy consumption needs of consumers, but also close to the consumption trend of "no sugar".

  According to media reports, the price of coconut water on the market varies, and the price of 330ml and 350ml coconut water is between 7 yuan and 15 yuan. Reporters checked the Tmall platform and found that the top 3 coconut water products are all originated in Thailand. Among them, the highest-selling product 12 bottles (350ml) sold for 78.9 yuan, showing that the sales volume has exceeded 400,000 bottles.

  Food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng said that after nearly five years of market cultivation, the coconut water category has entered a state of booming production and sales, and the consumption scene has entered an all-round diversification cycle. From the perspective of growth space, the entire coconut water category is relatively optimistic, and the coconut water category is worth looking forward to as consumption upgrades.

  The reporter noticed that, unlike coconut milk and coconut milk, coconut water raw materials are mainly coconut green. Some time ago, the topic of "coconut water prices skyrocketed by 4000%" was hot, and the important reason was that coconut green raw materials were in short supply, and old coconut water, which was originally a leftover material, was also purchased, causing prices to rise.

  In addition, at present, the overall output of coconut in our country is still unable to meet market demand, coconut water is highly dependent on external sources, and different regions also have an impact on the flavor of coconut water products. How to improve the layout of the coconut water industry chain is crucial to maintaining product quality and stable development of the industry.

  Packaged drinking water seeks differentiation

  China Beverage Industry Association data show that the output of packaged drinking water in 2022 is about 93 million tons, accounting for half of the entire beverage market output. Operating income returned to 100 billion yuan, and the rigid demand attribute of packaged drinking water became more and more obvious. In the beverage market, the large volume of packaged drinking water also showed the characteristics of price and scale competition this year.

  In terms of price, the average price of 550ml bottled water has risen from 1.66 yuan in 2005 to 2.32 yuan in 2020, indicating that the mainstream price band has been in the late stage of switching from 1 yuan to 2 yuan. Looking to the future, 2 yuan water is expected to remain the mainstream price range, "neck and neck" with 3 yuan water.

  The reporter visited and found that the price competition in the market of purified water and natural water of 1 yuan to 2 yuan is particularly fierce. On the JD.com platform, the same is about 550ml for 24 bottles, the price of Nongfu Spring is 33.9 yuan, Yibao is 34.9 yuan, Wahaha is 33.6 yuan, and Master Kong is priced at 24.9 yuan. Different products can also enjoy different price-break discounts. On the Wumart platform, the price of 12 bottles of the same content of ice dew, pure Yue, pure water music and other products is in the range of 7 yuan to 9 yuan.

  Some FMCG industry insiders told reporters that at present, 1 yuan water in the market is mainly for distribution products, emphasizing market share and basically pure water. 2 yuan water and 3 yuan water are represented by natural water and mineral water products respectively.

  According to the "2022 Mineral Water Consumption Trend Annual Report" released by JD.com Supermarket, natural water accounted for the highest proportion in the bottled water category in 2022, followed by mineral water accounting for 34%. It is worth noting that the sales growth rate of mineral water is 43% year-on-year, higher than that of other bottled water categories. Natural mineral water emphasizes that the origin is pollution-free, rich in minerals, trace elements, etc., to meet the rising demand for healthy consumption today, and is quickly becoming a new focus of bottled water competition. The reporter learned that more and more companies are beginning to label the origin of water injection on natural mineral water products to strengthen their own image. For example, "Luofu Mountains", "Changbai Mountain Water Source", "6000-meter Kunlun Mountain", "Tianchang Wetland Reserve" have become the promotional content of the brand.

  In Zhu Danpeng’s view, enterprises to develop high-end water market, on the one hand, because of the normalization of consumption upgrade, high-end water demand continues to increase. On the other hand, because the competition needs to form differentiation, the development of high-end water market helps to improve brand perception and operating profits.

  There is also large packaged water that continues to maintain a hot topic this year. It has become an important force for major water companies to expand their market volume and explore new growth curves. Some analysts believe that with the fixed household population and the gradual diversification of drinking water scenarios, large packaged drinking water has more advantages in safety and convenience than turnover bottled water. Sullivan data predicts that the compound annual growth rate of large packaged water in household scenarios will reach 17.5% in the next five years, and the compound annual growth rate in office consumption scenarios will reach 10%. This will help large packaged water to have a stable and strong growth momentum in the future and usher in better development. (China Economic Net reporter, Han Xiao)
